NUC approves degree programme for FCE Yola
The National Universities Commission has approved the Federal College of Education, Yola, to run degree programmes under the dual mandate arrangement.
The college provost, Mohammed Dagereji, disclosed this at a news conference in Yola on Wednesday.
He said that FCE Yola was among 15 federal colleges of education that the federal government mandated to run full degree programs independently, without affiliation.
He said that the college was set to run 14 degree programmes out of the 38 approved by the NUC, without affiliation to any university.
According to him, the admission process for the 2026/2027 academic year will be the first set that the college will run without affiliation.
He added that the college has been running the degree programme since 2014 in affiliation with the University of Maiduguri.
Mr Dagereji appealed to the federal government to harmonise NCE with degree programmes so that both can run as a single continuous programme.
He further said that the college is also on the JAMB portal and called on prospective candidates to apply, adding that those who want to transfer to the college should visit the college website at https://fceyoladegree.com.ng/portal/application.
“Accordingly, candidates who wish to apply for FCE Yola degree programmes are advised to strictly choose from the 14 approved courses, and to change their course(s) at any JAMB-accredited centre.
“Applications outside these listed programmes will not be considered at this stage,” he said.
